Where can I find a design to choose from for my website?

We only use top quality pre designed templates for our sites and we suggest you do to. Templates offer the look and quality of a site that would cost you thousands to be built from scratch from most design companies and many of them cost $100 or less. Working with templates has shot our customer service rating through the roof. With templates, you know exactly what you are going to get when the site is complete and there are no surprises. Custom design firms will show you basic mock ups but by the time the site is complete it can often be very different than what you had envisioned. Not only that, but often when you hire custom designers they will be the maintaining your site for the duration of its existence - which means you have to make changes through them. This results not only in lost time, but more often lost flexibility - the flexibility to change content at any time. Templates can also be much faster than a custom website. There are no consultations, no design time, simply the twenty minutes needed to pick and purchase your design and the time to replace the default text with your own. You could have your website up and running in days instead of months which means more visitors and potentially (if that is your focus) more money. Your idea for a website should not be sacrificed by high costs, slow design and inflexibility. You owe it to yourself (and your web site) to explore the issues of web templates more.

How do I get a domain and what should I choose?

We recommend Go Daddy for your domain; we have used them for years not only for most of our own web sites, as well as for most of our client's web sites. There are very few companies who offer domains as cheap as they do that actually offer customer service. We will assist you in all of your options regarding your domain and hosting. Your choice of domain name depends on how you are going to use it. If you are going to be telling people over the phone, choose one that is easy to say and spell out loud. Above all, I would choose one that is memorable and not confusing.

Can I get email accounts with my website?

Yes you can have unlimited email accounts if you host with us and you choose anything @yourdomain.com (i.e. sale@yourdomain.com, info@yourdomain.com, support@yourdomain.com).

How do I get traffic from the search engines like Yahoo and Google?

Search engine positioning is a long-term strategy and there are no quick solutions in this area of online marketing. In order to get good results with search engines, your site needs to be focused around the right keywords and keyword phrases. If you want to boost your traffic quickly, we suggest checking out Google Ad Words or other pay per click options. As a part of your setup package we will optimize your site with keywords and do a submittal to the top search engines that offer free placement. We will continue to work with you and educate you on all of the techniques to increase your organic placement instead of having to pay for traffic.

What is your setup fee and what does it include?

Our average fee for a template with up to 6 pages customized to your preference is a one time fee of $500 unless we are running a special (the template purchase is separate). This one time fee includes setting up your site and customizing the design you choose to your exact specifications. We will immediately post the template you choose to your domain and over the course of the next 7 - 10 business customize the template to your specific needs. Once you give us approval, we then collect payment, so you do not pay until you approve our work!

Pricing breakdown:

Integrating your content and customizing your chosen template to your specifications = 14 -16 hours including:

- resizing images you send us for optimal load time and the ability for them to fit in the area you want them

- configuring a contact form to send all inquires to your chosen email address

- customizing the navigational buttons of the site and their respective pages to your request

- setting up an email account @yourdomain.com and assisting you in the configurations

- performing revisions or edits and changes to content already customized

Phone/email consultations for edits and approval = 2 - 4 hours

Setup or configuration of your hosting account = up to 1 hour

Uploading your content to your domain name = up to 1 hour

This total process takes anywhere from 17 - 21 hours which brings our costs to just $25 hourly. Remember you do not pay us until the site is complete.
